Apple's patent shows wireless charging, but without the wireless charging pad.
It's an interesting idea that would have been great for Apple's Magic Mouse 2, which has a charging port on the bottom of the mouse that prevents you from using the mouse at all while it's charging.
It also sparks the potential for wirelessly charging other devices, like an iPhone or AirPods. At the same time, it's unclear if a wireless charging system like the one described in Apple's patent could deliver enough power to charge larger devices.
pad uses the standard Qi wireless charging standard to continuously deliver power to a compatible mouse that also supports wireless charging, like Logitech's own G903 and G703 gaming mice.Gaming accessory maker Corsair also has its own Qi wireless charging mouse pad that's similar to Logitech's, except the pad can only charge mice and other compatible Qi devices on a certain spot on the pad rather than the entire surface.
Either way, Apple's patent is just that: a patent, and it doesn't meant that we'll see the feature soon, or at all.
